The Leavenworth Ranger Station, now the Wenatchee River Ranger District office, is a well-preserved Civilian Conservation Corps complex from the late 1930s. The buildings — log-and-stone construction in the rustic National Park style — are on the National Register of Historic Places and remain in active use as the district's administrative centre.
Stop in to pick up maps and trail information for the surrounding Wenatchee National Forest and Alpine Lakes Wilderness before heading out on a hike. The staff are helpful with current conditions on Icicle Creek trails and other routes in the district. The building itself is worth a look for anyone interested in New Deal-era architecture.
